The Top 2 Best Ways to Take Your Vitamins: Vitamin Injections/ Vitamin infusions
March 12, 2016Vitamins & Nutrient Support: What You Need to Know
One of the most common questions we receive at Tx Bar Geelong is:
“Do I really need vitamins?”
The answer depends on a range of factors—including your lifestyle, genetics, current health, diet, and even your age.
Why Might You Need Supplementation?
According to global research, more than 90% of people are likely to have at least one nutrient deficiency. Common deficiencies include:
-
Vitamin B12
-
Vitamin D
-
Vitamin C
-
Iron
-
Calcium
-
Magnesium
-
Potassium
These nutrients play vital roles in supporting energy, immunity, mood, and overall health. At Tx Bar, our team of experienced cosmetic nurses and Nurse Practitioner offer a range of evidence-informed treatments designed to complement your wellness routine, where appropriate.
What’s the Best Way to Absorb Vitamins?
There are three primary methods of supplementation:
-
Oral supplements (e.g., tablets, capsules)
-
Intramuscular (IM) injections
-
Intravenous (IV) infusions
Each method has its own benefits. For example:
-
Oral supplements are convenient but often face absorption challenges through the digestive system.
-
IM and IV delivery bypass the gut, allowing vitamins to be delivered directly into the bloodstream for enhanced absorption and faster effects.
At Tx Bar, all IM and IV treatments are performed by qualified registered nurses or our Nurse Practitioner, following strict clinical protocols to ensure safety and comfort.
Our Most Popular Vitamin Therapies
🧬 B-Energy: Vitamin B12 Injection
Vitamin B12 plays a critical role in:
-
Red blood cell production
-
Nervous system function
-
Energy metabolism
Low levels may contribute to fatigue, low mood, and cognitive fog. Because B12 is often poorly absorbed through the digestive tract, intramuscular B12 injections offer a more efficient alternative for those with deficiencies.
Many of our clients report feeling more energised and focused after a B12 shot. For those with dietary limitations (such as plant-based diets), this option can provide targeted support.
💉 B-Repaired: Vitamin B Complex Injection
Our Vitamin B Complex injection includes a full spectrum of B vitamins (B1–B12), designed to support:
-
Nervous system health
-
Skin and hair health
-
Red blood cell formation
-
DNA repair and synthesis
This treatment may assist individuals experiencing stress, fatigue, or those recovering from illness, by replenishing essential B-group vitamins in a fast and effective way.
Why Choose IV Drips?
IV vitamin infusions deliver vitamins and minerals directly into the bloodstream, enabling 100% absorption. This method may support individuals seeking:
-
Hydration support
-
Immune system replenishment
-
Recovery from fatigue, muscle soreness, or jet lag
-
Skin glow and vitality
At Tx Bar, our IV vitamin drips are administered in a clinical setting by trained health professionals and typically take around 45 minutes to complete.
